"Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves."
"Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is."
"We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on."
